Adam Driver in White Noise Credit: Netflix

The teaser trailer for the Netflix movie White Noise just dropped on YouTube. Adapted from the 1985 Don DeLillo novel of the same name and directed by Noah Baumbach, the hotly anticipated movie was filmed in Northeast Ohio last year.

Filming took place in locations across the region, from Wellington in Lorain County, to Hiram College in Hiram, to Cleveland Heights, to Canton.

Starring Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig, the movie follows a midwestern college professor of Hitler Studies and his family, who are evacuated from their town after a train accident unleashes an airborne toxic event.

The film version was initially rumored to be titled Wheat Germ, but has retained the name of the novel for distribution.  Don Cheadle, Jodie Turner-Smith and Alessandro Nivola round out Baumbach’s ensemble cast.

White Noise is scheduled to open the Venice International Film Festival on Aug. 31 and is slated for a Netflix release later in 2022.

Here’s the official teaser trailer:
